| 12:57am | The 25th Hour Wishlist | | | | There are some stuff out there that I just wish I had the time for, but because there’s all this stuff that I wish I had the time for, I gotta meta my way so that I prioritize those that I do have the time for and those that I don’t have the time for. The end result is that I have less items... | | |

| 5:03pm | Shugo Chara Doki Ep. 75 - Ramen! (and plot) | | | | We continue to advance the plot, Doki style. Utau shows up at Amu's house searching for Ikuto.

| 6:12am | Rewatching Shugo Chara | | | | Somehow I just keep going back to watching Shugo Chara Season 1. Its just so memorable, you want to live it over and over again.
